I have an opportunity to buy a Polaris 4 wheeler in the US at a good price and thought about bring it down to CR when we move. Are the taxes any different than a car or will they be cheaper? This vehicle can have street tires put on it and cruise at 50 mph. Can it get plates? From previous posts I read that these vehicles are required to have plates. Are the emissions requirements the same? Can anyone help us with all of the good and/or bad with this idea? We are looking at this being our second vehicle but don’t want to break the bank. Thanks!
Yes, the taxes are quite high but it will depend on age. We imported 2 Bombardiar ATV’s with one being a legal 2 seater.
It will need to go through Ritive, the same as any street legal vehicle, [i]if you are going to use it on roads.[/i] Off road, it is not required. To get plates and pass [b]Ritive[/b] it must have mirrors, horn, etc. A friend imported a ‘Mule’ and for some unknown reason, to us anyway, was not deemed ‘legal’ although others have been.
In regards to using it a second vehicle, I would say it depends on where you live. Driving through San Jose on it, is not advisable but in smaller towns, there should be no problem.
That being said, if you are going to drive it on loose gravel roads you need to be extra careful.
Polaris ATV’s are popular here, but parts may have to be imported, which can take time….
